If you are talking about Magic Jack it is NOT a widget, but an app on your cell. Basically the same as dialing the regular phone app. You don't need to be an IT Tech to get this up and running........

This 2 minute video is all you need to set up the MJ. I recommend setting it up the way he shows in the Video directly to your router instead of your computer. That way you don't need a computer at all. After you do this download the app and register it following the directions and now you have it on your cell. So you can use it only on your cell or on both the cell and a landline.....Also it comes with all the instructions on getting a new number. I have not seen that but I know it has to be easy.......
Ok I see TextNow mentioned here. I am looking at it. It might suit my needs. Thank you Gadfly
I've been using Skype for quite a while now. It seems like I might need to switch to WhatsApp or Viber since I haven't come across a better option yet.
You are confused about the app. The app is only a bonus that makes the MJ available on your cell. Look at the video and you will see the actual MJ. You can plug it into your laptop with the attached USB and make and receive calls using your laptop speaker without a phone if you wish. There is a lot you can do with MJ............
First off it is not a Widget. See below what a widget is..It is not hardware.
A widget is a graphical user interface (GUI) element that displays information or allows users to interact with an application or operating system. Widgets can be used on websites, mobile devices, and desktop computers
Ok you don't need to buy anything other than the MJ. The MJ can be plugged into a USB port on your laptop. And you don't even need a phone as you can use your headset. But I recommend a speakerphone because calling banks and 800 no. you are on hold forever. Also with a phone you do not even need a computer as you can also plug the MJ as seen on the video directly into your router and then use the phone to call and receive. There are many things you can do with the MJ...
WATCH this video.
It is next to impossible to change from the original owner. But you can try and go to Magic Jack login and use your User Email and password to see the status and pay for renewal of service. Should be easy if you have the Email and password...........Go here and use your MJ phone number if you have it. The thing is in the middle ready to renew.........

Looks like I should just toss mine. I don’t remember the phone number, was mostly used for outgoing calls. I tried to request my password for reset but apparently my account predates my current email address, so that’s the end of that.
I’m pretty sure you need to first buy the device and register it, etc. THEN you can use MJ on your phone
First off looking at the photos you posted you have the original model which can not hook up through the router. But it could still work if you know the number OR your Email you gave and Password. Then you can pay to renew service...........
You don't get it. The app will only work if you buy the MJ. It is a bonus and will only work if you have a registered MJ..............So either buy the MJ or forget the whole app idea..............And a word of caution about the app. Some crooks appear to be registering MJ's and selling apps for $15 a month or so and paying $4 a month. SCAM..............
What kind of phone are you referring to? Sky says all I need to do is download the app on my iPhone and I'm good to go. No device needed.
SKY NEVER SAID THAT. Read what I said. You have to buy the MJ and register it for the app to work................
That's exactly what I'm doing. Hopefully I have it in a week.
